I came here in single digit weather, and wow did the hot chocolate hit. The hot chocolate was super rich, to the point where it felt like drinking straight liquid chocolate. The inside is super fun, with half the store dedicated to gelato and half to chocolate. The decorations were unique and fun! The service was really friendly! They helped us go through the flavors as well as buying various chocolates. Overall, Venchi is a great spot for amazing desserts!

He had never been to a gelato and I suggested it! (I've been to one other location) The second you walk, the place feels lavish. The storefront is pristine and gorgeously furnished. The chocolatiers/gelatieres are so warm and one walked up to us while we in line and explained the size options and options for what they will coat our cups and cones with - I think the options were dark chocolate or hazelnut. You also are able to sample any flavors before choosing! Being that I just ate, I got myself a small treat, a "baby" cup of pistachio gelato. They had the Dubai chocolate pistachio flavor as well, but I felt that one was too sweet for my liking. I was very happy with my pistachio! My sister in law enjoyed fruity gelatos and my brother a rich, dark chocolate. Every gelato comes with a chocolate, which is a nice added touch. The store was clean, the workers very hospitable and the gelato delicious and authentic! Thank you Venchi for an awesome experience, as always!

Fun little shop for gelato. They have several flavors of deliciously vegan gelato. They also have…read morevegan hot chocolate (with 6 or 7 flavor options- if had the dark chocolate and my husband had the hazelnut, which had little pieces of hazelnut, so it was a little crunchy). The hot chocolate is thick, like drinking warm pudding before it is set. They let you taste before you order. Once you decide what you want, you go to the back of the store and order using a digital kiosk. Once you have paid, you hand your order ticket to the staff and they prepare it for you. We've been twice for vegan gelato trying the chocolate, mango, and strawberry. We also tasted the lime basil which was delicious, but didn't seem like it would go with chocolate, and I can't turn down a good chocolate gelato. :) I'm guessing this place is a madhouse in the summer. Its winter now, so there is a steady stream of people, but it isn't crowded.

The flavors were totally lacking in so many of them that we sampled! Even the ones we picked were very bleh compared to other gelato places. The ambiance was just alright and service was quite poor. The girl working was friendly but the guy, not so much. And both were the only ones working and it was soo busy liens were so long service was slower and no one to give samples. Had to order separately at kiosk with all the flavors prior to going up to them making it very inefficient and time consuming process unless you already know everything you want Got the classic cone 4 flavors for $10 and cone upgrade $2 for chocolate hazelnut side and the chocolate was so thin it was barely anything and same with the hazelnuts, very disappointing. Couldn't even finish the cone itself because it tasted so bad. Just cone for the picture and that's it to be honest, nothing else going for it, prefer others in the city!

I love all the mix-ins in the gelato. Though their gelato cups look super tiny, they really pile on the gelato and it ends up being a solid serving size!

Overall, I would highly recommend Anita Gelato and will definitely be returning!

We also got the dark chocolate and it tasted like 70% dark. It was a true dark chocolate. They had so many spots to sit and eat, the weather was perfect and the line went fast. There were 15 people ahead of us and it took only 10 minutes. There were plenty of people working and helping, restocking and checking out. The parlor was adorable, everything was spotless and they had a restroom. This didn't feel like a New York experience where you have to eat standing up and you have to walk two blocks for the nearest public restroom. I felt comfortable with the street blocked off. It was a lovely stroll. I love this neighborhood!!!! Highly recommend a hop over to Anita's when you are done with lunch or dinner!

We kept that in mind for when the Opera let out at 10:30 and stopped in before heading to the subway. Convenient and quick ordering through kiosks. Plenty of vegan options and customizations. Small space so fortunately it wasn't too crowded inside since it was so late. (It was still busy! Good for them!) We each ordered a dark hot chocolate with added flavor (pistachio drizzle?). My friend had whole milk and I had vegan option. It was so delicious and the perfect end to a night, great for the walk in the cool temps.

We popped in after attending an orchestra concert across the street at The Lincoln Center as we wanted a sweet treat before heading home. It was about 9:45pm on a Saturday night. There were 3 different screens for you to order on and there was a line to get to them. The ordering is pretty self explanatory - decide if you want a cup or a cone, then pick your flavors and extras. ALL cones come in a beautiful flower shape, which is definitely what the hype about this place is all about. You can choose up to 4 different flavors for your flower shaped gelato, although I ended up just picking 2: mango sorbet and strawberry sorbet. Both were delicious! After ordering we waited 20-30 minutes for our gelato to be served, but we weren't in a rush so we were okay waiting. While waiting for ours, I observed the different options that other people had ordered. If you order a SMALL Cone, your flower shape is hardly worth it. I ordered a Regular Cone, which had the beautiful flower shape as advertised. And a Large Cone is an even bigger flower, although it might melt a bit too fast if it's hot out. This place is definitely worth trying out at least once, especially if you're both an ice cream lover and love a good photo op!

Perfect spot for the perfect treat and a must if you're seeing a performance.

Apparently this little gelato cart is seasonal and only out May through October. We had our lunch in Central Park & were then in the mood for gelato so walked a couple of blocks to cool off with the best gelato. To me the good gelato has to have that perfect gelato texture and theirs did not disappoint. It was delicious! I had two scoops - pistachio and mokaccino (coffee and chocolate ) and my friend had a scoop of fresh strawberry and a scoop of chocolate mint on a cone. The mint had fresh sprigs of mint. So good. They also had sorbet (sorbetti) for those who can't have dairy or are vegan. (Or just love fruit sorbet!) The non-dairy options were coconut and raspberry. I definitely want to come back and try the raspberry sorbet Also, the fountain there is so beautiful, a great place to eat gelato, watch the fountain, and people watch.
